In the Golden Throne Hall, the officials lined up with their heads down, eyes darting around as if they had something to hide, fearing that Meng Qingzhou might see through them.

The main reason was the hysterical screams outside the hall, which were spine-chilling:

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! Meng Qin is slandering me! Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty!"

The once arrogant King of Longshang, upon being questioned, was stripped of his dignity by Meng Qingzhou. His spiritual power was sealed by the Empress, and he was about to be executed by death by a thousand cuts, like a dead dog.
